Guage Face help

[insane575]

I want to get new guage faces, i have taken apart my old gauges to the point where i have to take off the needles. I dont think they come off, so how do you install the new faces if the old ones don't come off. And if you dont have to take the old ones off, how do you still install the new ones, with all the needles in the way. Thanks.

Not too sure if you just want the paper or new guages but to keep it legal buy another whole guage cluster doesnt matter about miliage swap all the guages straight up except the speedo

Take the new speedo you got to practice on this first take a paper towel or something to protect the paper so you don't cut/rip/scuff it lay it down take a knife or pliars and slip it under the knob and just pry up it will pop off as long as you keep equal pressure on both sides you will not bend or damage the pin the needle sits on.

Now assuming you took the two screws off the face the paper will come right off.

Now take your guage, slip the needle over the plastic stopper and either make a mental note or mark it with tape where the needle rests when the guage is laying flat. this will make it easier on yourself when your trying to adjust the speedo to get your mph right. So take your old paper off and put the new paper on then put the needle back on being sure to get it lined up with where it was when you took it off then move the needle back to the other side of the stopper

Did this a while ago it's pretty easy but i pita to get your mph right.

so your tellin me that the needle just pops off? because no matter how much i try to pry it off, it does not want to come off. is there a special tool to do it?

No special tool I know of i just took two butter knifes on each side and twisted them up at the same time and it comes off dont be afraid unless you are only applying pressure to one side you wont break it.
